encompassed important technology, marketing, and societal trends
pertinent to ATTA Members. It also offered a turbocharged venue for
networking, that to us, was a rarity—rare because the members
clicked so well, the conversations were so meaningful, and the
energy so infectious for the entire four days of the event.”
